Yemeni Dabeekh/ Tabeekh/ Vegetable stew

Yemeni Dabeekh is a simple vegetable stew that can be turned into a delicacy by topping it with hulba or bisbas. I was a little weary about trying it out with the topping but I tested a small portion. It is full of flavors and the hulba which is made of fenugreek does not taste bitter or odd as I had expected it to be.
